Ukwandisa ukutholakala kokukhishwa kocwaningo lwase-Afrika

I-AfricArXiv ingobo yomlando ekhokhelwa ngumphakathi yocwaningo lwase-Afrika, esebenzela ukwakha indawo yokugcina izifundiswa evulekile yase-Afrika; ulwazi olujwayelekile lwemisebenzi yezazi zase-Afrika. Sisebenzisana nezinsizakalo ezisungulwe ezinqolobaneni zezifundiswa ukuhlinzeka ngeplatifomu yososayensi base-Afrika banoma isiphi isiyalo ukwethula imiphumela yabo yocwaningo nokuxhumana nabanye abacwaningi ezwenikazi lase-Afrika nasemhlabeni jikelele.

I-AfricArXiv yindawo yomlando ekhokhelwa ngumphakathi yamahhala yocwaningo lwase-Afrika. Sinikeza abantu base-Afrika ipulatifomu ososayensi ukulayisha amaphepha abo okusebenza, ama-preprints, imibhalo yesandla eyamukelekayo (ama-post-prints), namaphepha ashicilelwe. Siphinde futhi sinikeze izinketho zokuxhumanisa idatha nekhodi, kanye nokwenza inguqulo ye-athikili. I-AfricArXiv izinikele ekusheshiseni nasekuvuleni ucwaningo nokusebenzisana phakathi kososayensi base-Afrika nokusiza ekwakheni ikusasa lokuxhumana kwezazi.

Umbono 

Ipulatifomu evulekile yokuphathwa kwe-pan-Afrika ephethwe ngokusemthethweni esebenza njengendawo enokwethenjelwa, enokwethenjelwa futhi esebenza kahle yomlando ohlukahlukene wemikhakha eyahlukene yocwaningo isebenza kusuka nase-Afrika. Okuqukethwe yi-AfricArXiv kuyafinyeleleka futhi kuyasebenziseka kuzinkundla zonke ngaphakathi nangaphesheya kwezwekazi lase-Afrika, ngenkathi kungokwakho, kusingathwa futhi kuphathwa yizikhungo zezifundiswa zase-Afrika kuleli zwekazi.

Mission

Ukusungula inqolobane ezimele futhi evulekile yocwaningo kanye nomthombo ongasebenzisana weminikelo evela nakubacwaningi kanye nabasunguli abasebenza ekuthuthukisweni kwe-pan-Afrika ngenhloso yokwandisa ukutholakala komkhiqizo wabaphenyi base-Afrika kanye nabo bonke ososayensi abasebenza ngokomongo wase-Afrika.

Izinhloso

• Yenza umbhalo, idatha kanye nolwazi kuzingxenyekazi zezifundiswa ezidijithali eziseshekayo futhi zitholakale 
• Khombisa ukukhishwa kocwaningo lwase-Afrika
• Gqugquzela ukuthunyelwa kumajenali ase-Afrika

• Ukusabalalisa ulwazi nobuchwepheshe base-Afrika
• Nika amandla ukushintshaniswa kocwaningo ezwenikazi
• Khuthaza ukusebenzisana kwezwekazi ngalinye

• Gqamisa ucwaningo ngokubaluleka kwasendaweni nokwesifunda
• Gcwalisa izikhala lapho izinhlelo zokugcina izinto zesikhungo zilahlekile
• Sebenzela ukusebenzisana phakathi kwamakhosombe ombhalo nawedatha  
• Ulwazi lokudlulisa oluqoqwe ngabantu base-Afrika abahlakazekile lubuyela ezwenikazi

Amaqembu okuqondiwe

• Abaphenyi bokuqala kanye nabaphakathi nomsebenzi, ngokwakha idumela ngokugcina umlando izincazelo, izingcaphuno, imibiko yabafundi, amasethi edatha, iminikelo yocwaningo, njll.
• Abaphenyi bezinga eliphezulu ukunikeza ukufinyelela okuvulekile (OA) emsebenzini wabo
• Abenzi bedatha ukuxhumanisa amasethi edatha nemvelo yocwaningo yase-Afrika
• Abasebenza ngemitapo yolwazi ukuhlola nokuchaza ukuthi iyiphi indlela engcono yokuqondisa abacwaningi base-Afrika ekuhambeni komsebenzi wokuxhumana kwabafundi (ukuqondiswa kwezigwegwe nokuqondene nesifunda)
• Ingqungquthela, i-webinar nabahleli bezifundo ukuqoqa imiphumela yenkomfa
• Abenzi benqubomgomo kanye nezikhungo zikahulumeni ukuxhasa ukwenziwa kwezinqumo nokushicilelwa kwemibhalo efanele izindaba zase-Afrika
• Izinhlangano ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni ezisebenza ezindabeni zase-Afrika ukuze zinikeze ukufinyelela okuvulelekile emibikweni yazo

Kungani sidinga indawo yokugcina izifundiswa ye-Afrika?

• Yenza ucwaningo lwase-Afrika lubonakale futhi lutholakale emhlabeni jikelele
• Khulisa ukusebenzisana kuwo wonke amazwekazi
• Sabalalisa imiphumela yocwaningo ngezilimi zase-Afrika
• I-Trigger ucwaningo lwezezimali

Sikhuthaza ukuthunyelwa okuvela ku 

• Ososayensi base-Afrika nezazi kusekelwe ezwenikazi lase-Afrika 
• Ososayensi base-Afrika nezazi njengamanje ezinze esikhungweni sokubamba ngaphandle kwe-Afrika
• ososayensi abangewona ama-Afrika ababika ngocwaningo olwenziwe endaweni yase-Afrika
• ososayensi abangewona ama-Afrika ababika ngocwaningo oluphathelene nezindaba zase-Afrika
• okungebona ososayensi nabangezona izifundiswa abasebenza ezikhungweni zikahulumeni, ezenzela inzuzo kanye nezingenzi nzuzo ukuletha imibiko yabo kanye nohlu lwedatha ngokuhambisana nezindinganiso zezifundiswa, ukuvumela ukushintshaniswa kolwazi olunqamula imikhakha

Samukela izinhlobo zamafayela ezilandelayo 

• Imibhalo yombhalo (ama-preprints, ama-postprints, i-VoR):
  • Indatshana yocwaningo nokubuyekeza imibhalo yesandla 
  • Iziphakamiso zephrojekthi
  • Ukubhaliswa kwangaphambili
  • Imibiko yabafundi
  • Imiphumela 'engemihle' nemiphumela 'engekho' (okusho imiphumela engayisekeli i-hypothesis)
  • Izihloko
• Amasethi wedatha, imibhalo kanye nekhodi
• Izitezi zesethulo zesilayidi
• Amaphosta nama-infographics
• Okuqukethwe okubukwayo, isib. 
  • Ukuqoshwa kweWebinar
  • Amafayela evidiyo nawomsindo avela ezingxoxweni 
• Imisebenzi engeyona eyezemfundo evela ezikhungweni ezisebenza empambanweni yezifundiswa:
  • Imibiko yonyaka yenhlangano neyebhizinisi 
  • Izitatimende zenqubomgomo nezincomo
  • Imihlahlandlela kanye ne-infographics
